Tuliptree? The crown says yes, but the trunk says otherwise.

[easyphloem]

Way off, Tom.


I have pictures of this tree getting progressively larger, and easier to identify.


We'll see how today goes.

[theXman]

i don't feel good about this one.

top does look like tulip poplar.

base is fluted, tight bark.

hmmm...

crown doesn't look like it, but I throw out:

Chinese Elm.

 

[Blinky]

Top looks tulippy but it also looks like it has opposite attachments...

Horse chestnut. Asomething hipposomething
...with apologies to Banjo of course.

 

[tomthetreeman]

X man, the trunk definitely looks elmy. Good luck! I have no guesses right now.

I thought catalpa, too, but where are the 'cigars?' And why are there those little dried leaf-thingies?
